Non-Manly Games [Round 6, 2017]

[Kevinward777]

Shame foz is headed to blue an white next year from all reports. He can play the kids still live on northern beaches.
Can only dream

Yep, imagine a balanced Foz back in the side. Pretty sure he'll end up reuniting with Des.

Oh no! I was hoping the storm would win a tight hard fought contest.

They don't lose 2 in a a row often.

This isn't not good for us

 

[HappilyManly]

BRISBANE will be without Ben Hunt for up to eight weeks due to a torn hamstring.

I agree but we will be better than yesterday, look at the roosters game for example.

I can't pick which game but I think we will upset either the storm or raiders and beat Souths ( boys will want payback for our earlier loss at brookvale oval).

My predictions for the next 3 weeks
Storm by 18
Manly by 8 against the raiders
Manly by 14 against the rabbits

 

[skull61]

Actually think Cronk has not been going all that well this year

 

[MadMarcus]

You ever notice when scam smith actully throws a pass backwards the storm players almost over run it every time?

I've never noticed him throw a pass backwards. When did he start doing that?

I like your thinking.

I actually gave us a slight chance next week as I was assuming Melb would've been undefeated.

The sharks have put a spanner in the works now. 🙁

Foz is a gun. Where ever he plays he seems to improve a side immensely. I would have him back at manly in a heart beat. I think he will end up at Melbourne as cronks replacement. Just the type of player they would want and cash to spend. He would take his game to another level under Bellamy and the storm system.

 

[globaleagle]

lol suck it Parra.

Interesting that the kiwi commentators said that Foran hadn't touched the ball in the first 12 mins of the game. Highly unusual for any #7!

Still wouldn't have him back for free. I can't really understand the foz love.

I mean everyone can have an opinion (even wrongs ones I guess) but those opinions don't necessarily have to come with short term or selective memory loss does it?


Speaking of memory loss... I heard a couple of storm players were out and forgot to change my tip to the sharks. Turns out, it was still a close game anyway. I hope they're buggered for their next game against...oh it's us...yay!

So many players seem to be able to be taken to so many 'next levels' under so many different coaches...I'm wondering how they all made it to first grade in the first place!!??

You're probably right about where he'll end up, but I'm going to throw my 2 cents in, because I love a conspiracy.

Watching the preview before the eels and warriors yesterday on fox, the question was raised whether opposition teams and fans should take it easy on Foz with the sledging etc. I noted with particular interest when Justin Hodges (who was one of the biggest and best sledgers in the game) gave his thoughts on the subject. He believes Foran should not be given a hard time and everyone should leave him alone.

He then went on to talk about how great Foz is as a player (which I agree with) and continued to sing his praises for a while.

My conclusion ; The big push by the broncos to sign Bird is a smokescreen and their real target is Foran to replace Hunt. Foz would go great at the broncs.

Hook in Mole!! We know you're here. Write it up buddy.

I thought Norman might get a call up after his effort on the weekend (shoulder charge.) But I guess not all SC are automatically bound for the judiciary...?


edit: Once the judiciary realise that Melb play Manly this weekend, chambers will get a walk.

The Refs didn't even penalize it, yet Chambers smashed the guy without the ball 😡

Solomona's punch on Maloney was also not a sin bin nor an MRC fine 😕

At least BK won't have to mark Chambers on Saturday

Really? I thought he (Norman) got penalised...then got another 10 metres for mouthing off?

I meant the Scumo's game.

Gal asked for them to look at it, they looked and saw nothing. Meanwhile Wade Graham is flat on the ground and Chambers is scurrying back onside

Ah, sorry. And wow, just wow.

The good thing for Manly is that it was 80 minutes of bashfest in the cold Melboure rain

I just looked at it for the first time. (gotta keep partying like it's 1799) and ..................

"The on-field officials at the time looked to replays of the incident but chose not to penalise the off-the ball shot described by Fox Sports’ commentator Mark Gasnier as “a blatant penalty”........................


So as you said...they looked at it and said 'nah, nothing wrong with that."

It's total bull****.

It gives credibility to those asking the cops to investigate refs and families.

wow

what a total sham.


P.S. Chambers took the one week.

Ref should front up and say why they thought it wasn't actionable.
